Plus-ones and the seating chart
Count every plus-one as a seat, even unnamed. Hold a chair at their guest’s table if an 8-top can take 9; otherwise keep a flexible seat on a neighboring table. Name them when you know. Do not rebuild the grid because one +1 said yes.
How do plus-ones affect a wedding seating chart?
Count every plus-one as a seat, even unnamed. Hold a chair at their guest’s table if an 8-top can take 9; otherwise keep a flexible seat on a neighboring table. Name them when you know. Do not rebuild the grid because one +1 said yes.
What if the plus-one has no name yet?
Hold the seat under the guest’s party. Table math uses the seat, not the name. Swap the placeholder when RSVP names them.
Should I refuse an unapproved plus-one?
You may. If you accept, add them and reseat. Do not leave a hole on a spreadsheet and hope the table still works.
